Litter Hurts

A plastic bag stuck in a tree. Plastic 6-pack rings, jars and metal cans laying on the ground. We’ve all witnessed it. Sometimes we even rationalize that it was because of a wind storm that blew it out of the garbage or recycling bin and do nothing because “it’s only one piece” or “someone else will get it.”

Sometimes we all need a little friendly reminder from our favorite critters that it could be a big deal. Sometimes we need reminded that with just a little extra effort, we can keep our environment beautiful and our favorite animals safe. So, here is a little PowerPoint movie to do just that.

Do you like turtles? Then you will love Peanut…

Happy July 4th to one and all and thank you for helping to keep Akron and America beautiful.
